cashmere amigurumi mushroom house

omG is this the coolest amigurumi mushroom house ever? it was made (clearly with love) by arkansas crafter sandy meeks, aka etsy seller meekssandygirl, and it is spectacular.

bonus: it’s made of cashmere.

i am so packing my bags and moving to mushroomland.

see more of it here and see sandy’s shop there.

this is going around the intertube but i don’t care, i must write about it. i love this awesome crochet work from new york graphic designer and crafter extraordinaire nicole gastonguay. this is yarn freestyling at its best people - nicole doesn’t use patterns for her creations!

i love the cannoli and the shape of the mashed potatoes.

see her flickr stream for more neatly finished hilarity.

lasa rug by jab anstoetz

i like the playful raised pile on this lasa rug from german design firm jab anstoetz. it reminds me of macaroni, an effect which is achieved by felting the main color around a darker yarn core. it’s made of new zealand merino wool and looks supremely cozy.

i love seeing dramatic color pops in neutral rooms, and this would definitely fit the bill. i also love their perfect colors (it also comes in apple green!).

be sure to check jab’s website for other beautiful things.
